Flanging: 21,3–219,1 mm | .840”–8.625” OD
Pipe diameters: 21,3–219 mm | .840”–8.625” OD
Material: Stainless Steel, Copper, Carbon Steel, Aluminum, CuNi
Machine type: Industrial machines
Process: End forming
With the T-DRILL F-200 flanging machine lips and flanges are formed directly on the end of the pipe – a system that saves up to 40 % in time and costs compared with traditional weld neck flange connections.
Advantages of T-DRILL Flanging Machines:
- Lower workshop costs due to elimination of welding and X-raying
- Less working capital: no welding neck flange inventory or complex welding and X-raying equipment
- Loose flanges for quick installation – no difficult bolt-hole positioning.
- Precise results and constant high quality: no risk of weld or braze fractures
- Cold and hot forming of long and bent pipes with smooth or grooved flanged surfaces.
- Programmability for easy operation and practically no need for maintenance.
F-200 meets the major requirements of the chemical and food-processing industries, and of shipbuilding and pipe fabrication in general.
T-DRILL Flanging method is approved e.g. by:
- Det Norske Veritas
- Germanischer Lloyd
- Lloyd’s Register of Shipping (Carbon Steel etc.)
- Lloyd’s Register of Shipping (CuNi)
- Bureau Veritas
- ASTM
- Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)
